Yeah, it's quite ballsy of them to do this when they haven't released anything good in several years.

Even if they don't release anything, wtf. There is a huge back catalogue of movies I want to rewatch and stuff I've never seen. I can't remember a single time I searched for a classic movie I wanted to watch and found it on Netflix streaming. Those movies were often available through Netflix DVD though! Enshitification indeed.

I use Justwatch to figure out where films and shows are, and even then it's grim how many aren't available to stream, or even buy legally.

At that point you should honestly just pirate it so that a copy continues to exist.

I've done that for my Jellyfin server, but some things are too rare and niche to be sure of results unfortunately.

Given the decline in service quality and the increase of 8.8 million subs in a quarter, they can continue being worse for more and the general public will support it.

The only thing I care about is quality shows being made from good networks, still getting their funding, but streamers are turning into trash TV from the 2000's.
